Synopsis: A boy and a girl from two different worlds meet and fall in love for both the better and the worse.
This movie got 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Do you now how hard it is to do that? However, I don’t think it deserved it. This movie changed scenes to quickly, so much so that it seemed choppy and everything pretty random.
Miles Teller played Sutter Keely, an arrogant party goer and he remains a flat character. He doesn’t change and by the end of the movie he is supposedly ‘living in the now’ and ‘letting go of everything’ but it isn’t believable.
Now, Shailene Woodley’s character, oh my goodness, no, no, no. She meets Sutter, and then all of a sudden she’s a damsel in distress wanting everything to do about him, and drinking and partying though, I will say she remains evidently shy. So ya, she didn’t change too much and everything that changed about her, blatantly sucked.
If this movie was trying to use reverse psychology to make kids stop drinking, stop trying so hard for love in high school, stop partying blah blah, great, but… It didn’t really work on me. I honestly don’t think this movie should’ve been out in theatres due to it’s false language and how the characters don’t really progress during the whole film.
